A SPENDING LEGISLATURE?
Are we to have a spending legislature
the like of which Texas has never before
experienced?
Indications are too that the S75 mil-
lions plus in the general fund of the State
of Texas is in for a raid such as only men
do who care more for handing out than
they do running on a sound basis a business
such as the State of Texas.
Already, we are informed, there are
enough bills in the hopper calling for ex-
penditure of money to draw out all the
money and make it necessary for a vast
additional sum to be raised by some sort
of taxation on the people.
Aside from the cry of the handout
crew who want to give largess and bonus
lavishly, they also are crying for longer
terms and additional increase in salary.
Some even want to make it an annual
session of the body, and others want to
make it a year-round job.
Just wouldn't that be ducky?
Any one who studies the proceedings
of the legislature will at once see how-
much time is lost through endless and
needless technicalities, doubling up of
boards, jockeying for their own bill and
horseswapping in general.
Why should we extend the salary
drawing time for a man when he does not
fill the hours he already has with a full
day’s work? We don’t do that in running
a business of our own, and when you turn
a man loose in Austin to kick around a sum
like $75 million, he certainly ought to have
something in the way of ability to manage
his own business.
Yet how many inexperienced men,
and how many who have never shown abil-
ity to create and build a business or make
a success at something which calls for
managerial ability do we find at our capi-
tal ready to spend the money the tax pay-
ers made possible?
It is a case of spend, tax, elect.
We elect those who make large prom-
ises of largess and bonus in many cases.
The chief thing they know is how to make
a raid on the treasury for this or that
group. They did not have to earn that
money — it belongs to some one else, so
why not be charitable and liberal even,
with the money others have placed in a
fund?
It would really be something for a
candidate to be elected on the platform of
protecting the funds of the state; of being
against all forms of largess; of promising
to do all he can to prevent more law mak-
